What clients wrote, in their own words.
Every review below was published on the KIAMO Skin Google Business Profile. They are reproduced here word for word — same sentences, same names, same months — because a review you cannot check is not worth reading.
One of them is a first facial. Another belongs to someone who has been coming for four years. Nothing has been edited, shortened or selected for tone, and the listing itself is one click away on every card.

I’ve been going to her for 4–5 years now, and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my skin! I get a HydraFacial and dermaplaning every month, and my skin always feels so smooth, hydrated, and refreshed afterward. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing esthetician! ✨🤍

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.Oh my goodness Kiki is AMAZING. I reached out to her with a bunch of different concerns, not really having time or the finances to come in and do an entire appointment and treatment plan. She was super easy to work with, kind, and knowledgeable. I basically sent her pictures of what my skin has looked like in the past, but it looked like currently, and every single product I was using which she recommended. She knew about the ingredients in each products and predicted how they would interact with my skin based off of her analysis of pictures from before. Anyways, I took some things out, and added some recommendation she suggested based off of how much I was able to spend. The result about two weeks later is so different! She explained that I was stripping my skin, natural barrier and the pursuit of getting rid of oiliness and blemishes, which only ended up making them worse. She told me exactly what to do, and when I had questions, I just asked. I’m super happy now!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.Kiki is truly one of those people who makes you feel comfortable the second you meet them. She’s warm, kind, and genuine and it feels like you’re catching up with a friend while getting pampered. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients, not just the treatment being provided.
I never felt rushed, and Kiki took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything, and make sure I felt completely at ease. Her knowledge and attention to detail gave me so much confidence, and the results spoke for themselves. I left feeling refreshed, glowing, and honestly just happier than when I walked in. If you’re thinking about booking with Kiamo, do it. Your skin and your soul will thank you.

She was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to ask questions about my skin, my skincare routine, and the products I currently use. I loved that she explained each step of the treatment and talked me through the products and steps she was doing. The space was clean and so relaxing.

Tera Rench
Rated 5 out of 5 stars.First time visiting Kiamo Skin, and I was truly impressed. My skin has never looked or felt so radiant after a facial. Kiki’s attention to detail and her ability to assess exactly what my skin needed were impeccable. She didn’t just provide an amazing treatment, she also sent me home with a thoughtful, personalized plan to care for my skin between visits and even followed up to check on my progress. The level of care and expertise she provides is truly unmatched. High Recommend!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.I’ve been going to Kiamo skin for over a year now and can’t recommend it enough. I originally came in for a facial, then added scalp treatments, and now it’s part of my regular routine. Every visit is professional, relaxing, and I see results every time. Kiki is extremely knowledgeable and consistent. I always leave feeling refreshed such a game changer.

Highly recommend her if you want real results and a glow that lasts. ✨🤩

Charleen Harvey
Rated 5 out of 5 stars.I had a Keravive scalp treatment and it was such a good experience. I have fine curly hair and my scalp can get very dry, I noticed an immediate difference after the treatment. Kiki is friendly, knowledgeable, and makes you feel comfortable. I highly recommend.
Scarlett Baily
Rated 5 out of 5 stars.Lucky is the one in the hands of Kiarra at Kiamo. I shopped around San Diego looking for a facial that would help me with my hormonal adult acne breakouts while trying to conceive and Kiki saved me. Other facials in the area covered me in slop, without any attention to my personal skin history and trends. I am 39, and chicana, with darker oily skin that tends to get pigmentation from each blemish, and Kiki got it. The icing on the cake is her beautiful space and professional spirit that makes each visit relaxing, joyful, and effective.
Karen Haines
Rated 5 out of 5 stars.This was literally the best experience, Kiki was extremely knowledgeable, the whole place was so comfy and relaxing. My skin looks and feels amazing!!!.

Dominique Lott
Rated 5 out of 5 stars.I truly don’t have enough words to describe how amazing my experience was at Kiamo Skin. From the moment I stepped in, I felt like I was entering a sanctuary. It’s peaceful, professional, and full of intention. My skin felt SO SOFT.
I received the full works: a double cleanse, dermaplane, hydra facial, ZO BrightAlive and red light therapy, microcurrent treatment, antioxidant goji berry jelly mask, DMK products and cryotherapy. Basically a full-on facial feast, and my skin is GLOWING. Each step was tailored to exactly what my skin needed, and the quality of care was unmatched.
What sets Kiamo Skin apart is not just the incredible services and high-end products, but the level of knowledge, passion, and detail that Kiki brings to every appointment. She explained everything, checked in with me throughout, and made the whole experience feel luxurious and deeply rejuvenating.
My face feels lifted, hydrated, and bright, and my soul feels a little more nourished too. If you’ve been thinking about booking with Kiamo Skin, I 10/10 recommend. Your skin will thank you.

How this page is built
The rules under which a review appears here.
A page of praise is easy to fake. These are the rules that make this one harder to fake, and every one of them can be checked by opening the listing.
The other half of the record is the cases themselves — sessions, timeframe, Fitzpatrick band and the written consent — on the published before-and-after cases.
01 — Word for word
Reviews appear exactly as written on the Google profile. Nothing is edited, shortened, paraphrased or tidied. A sentence that runs on runs on here too, because the alternative is a page of quotes the studio wrote for itself.
02 — Named and dated
Every review carries the name Google holds and the month it was posted, with the reviewer's own profile photo. Real reviews take real time, and a wall of undated praise reads like advertising rather than testimony.
03 — The listing is the original
Google holds the record. Every card links to the listing, and this page is regenerated from the profile itself, so it carries what the profile holds — not a snapshot the studio liked better.
04 — Photographs belong to the reviewer
Where a reviewer attached a photograph to a review, it appears alongside it. The photos are the reviewer's own and travel with their words.
The studio
The room every one of these reviews describes.
One private treatment room in San Diego. The reviews talk about the space, the pacing and the home-care plan that comes home with you — those are the same room, the same practitioner and the same follow-up every time.
Who does the work is on the about page, what each session costs is on the treatment menu, and the reviews come from across San Diego County.

These reviews came from Google, so a new one belongs on Google too. If the studio has helped your skin, a short review there is worth more than anything the studio could write on its own page.
If you have not been before, the monthly membership is the recurring version of a facial, and what the first visit involves is written out before you request anything.
